"Beautiful Strangeness Of the Quantum!"

Overall

Scientific American has in the not so recent past been one of my favorite magazines, however in recent years due to the literary simpification of the publication to suit a wider more diverse audience I have strayed from its pages.
This audible.com delight will be refreshing as well as nostalgic for those readers who can enjoy quantum particle matters, and/or feel the same way about Scientific American as I have expressed in the first Paragraph.

Scientific American Presents Nobel Prize Winners: Physics

Scientific American presents a collection of key scientific essays written by Nobel Prize winners Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, I.I. Rabi, and Leon Lederman - never before available in audio! Einstein's essay, "On the Generalized Theory of Gravitation" (1950) is an account of the extension of the generalized theory of relativity. Next are tributes to Einstein upon his death in 1955, written by Niels Bohr and I.I. Rabi. Finally, "The Two Neutrino Experiment" by Leon Lederman.
